Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Key Highlights

• Deep experience operating data infrastructure at scale. 10+ years, with a meaningful chunk spent as the person directly responsible for the performance and reliability of large production databases.
• Breadth across data stores. You've operated systems like OpenSearch (or Elasticsearch) and document databases like MongoDB at scale, and you have strong instincts for which workload belongs where.
• A query-optimization obsession. You live in tools like pganalyze and Sentry, you can spot the query quietly degrading p99s, and you fix it before it becomes an incident – then put guardrails in place so it doesn't recur.
• An automation-first, DevOps mindset. You'd rather automate toil than do it twice – reaching for scripting and, increasingly, AI agents to handle migrations, monitoring, and operational work so our infra scales without scaling headcount.
• The judgment and influence of a staff engineer. You set technical direction, raise the bar for the whole team, and drive cross-cutting infrastructure work without needing to be told how.
